Stevie Crecelius — formerly Steve — in an interview with Fox 31 Denver in May 2012.

Colorado photographer Steve Crecelius was admitted to the hospital five years ago for a kidney stone and received surprising news from the nurse, who told him he was actually a woman.

Crecelius, who now goes by Stevie, found out she was born intersex, with both male and female sex organs, according to Fox News. A trip to the emergency room for the kidney stone was what revealed what Crecelius had questioned her whole life.

"We told them individually. Some were in person and some weren't," Crecelius said to ABC, referring to how she told her children about her transition to becoming a woman. "Every one of them said, 'We don’t care one way or the other. We love you for who you are and you're still my dad.'"
